I see nothing in this draft which has changed the landscape as it 
existed when these blog postings were made:

I think that we should only seriously consider MTI codecs which have 
been developed and improved within the context of an existing standards 
body, for the multitude of technical and non-technical benefits that 
process provides for those who ship the codecs in their products.

I will note, for instance, that the Opus audio codec is a substantially 
better general-purpose Internet codec than SILK as a result of following 
this process.
